I too can't wait to read the next ones -- I only read it so fast because I skimmed the bad guys POV -- I thought it was the only weak spot in a very strong story. <BR/><BR/>I thought JT was really good in that movie -- the problem is he's always going to be JT.Molly O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171236688541657736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-64482149569918277652007-09-04T18:48:00.000-04:002007-09-04T18:48:00.000-04:00Oh man I love JR Ward's books.

It suffers from the same problem many "art movies" or literary fiction novels for that matter do. It's hard to define it and therefore hard to market it. So they go for the most salacious element and hope that the scandal or controversy (I remember women's groups complaining) will bring people to the theatres.<BR/><BR/>Some time we should discuss Justin Timberlake as an actor. I admit I do not get his appeal as a singer. Sure, he's cute, the the falsetto faux R&B thing is not for me... Maybe it's an age thing. He just doesn't do it for me. But I've seen him in a few movies now and he's been pretty good. He's smart not to let himself fall into big hollywood movies, too. If his goal is to be respected as an actor at some point in his life... Well, he's making good choices. I'd be curious to know what you guys think of Alpha Dogs. (in case that seemed like a bizarre segue... JT is in Black Snake Moan.)Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-59029631013786035722007-09-03T19:58:00.000-04:002007-09-03T19:58:00.000-04:00Holy Crap! you read that fast... you just got that...Holy Crap! you read that fast... you just got that book Sunday eve.. <BR/>Molly is officially a speed reader.. <BR/><BR/>You're right, JR Ward's stuff is all about the right details to make her world really authentic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
